Color Compostition

Found Panorama

 I chose this based on the skyline. I really like the ombre effect. It gives more dimension to the photograph.

 

I love the shape of this photograph,. the way it curves and looks almost 3D.  I also like the few lonely looking people because it adds emotion.

First Assignment: National Geographic

First of all, I love the blue and gold walls because they remind me of the sea or the sky. I think all the cracks and holes in the wall show beautiful texture and give the photo dimension. I also really like how each door leads to another door because it reminds me of a sort of fun house, optical illusion. The way the doors look and the ocean of sand makes me think of Alice in Wonderland. Which is one of my favorite movies, the cartoon, not the Tim Burton version. The antique look of the walls and doors give it the timeless aspect. This photograph makes me really want to visit these rooms of doors and sand. I want to step in the footprints that are in the sand like I do at the beach. Overall I am just very intrigued at the thought of how all that sand got there in the first place.
